I always found the alternative_insn tricks hard to read but with
Daniel's patch queued in -next it gets slightly better. If you are not
targeting 4.3, could you do something like (untested):

.macro	vhe_if_not
	alternative_if_not ARM64_HAS_VIRT_HOST_EXTN
.endm

.macro	vhe_else
	alternative_else CONFIG_ARM64_VHE
.endm

.macro	vhe_endif
	alternative_endif CONFIG_ARM64_VHE
.endm


The kvm_call_hyp, for example, would become:

ENTRY(kvm_call_hyp)
vhe_if_not
	hvc	#0
	ret
vhe_else
	nop
	push	lr, xzr
vhe_endif


Or you can even ignore defining new vhe_* macros altogether and just use
"alternative_if_not ARM64_HAS_VIRT_HOST_EXTN" directly (more to type)
but you may be able to avoid a vhe-macros.h file.
